Abstract

Routing Protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been discussed extensively in recent years. Because of node mobility and energy conservation consideration in MANET, reactive routing protocols get more attention than others with their on-demand packet transmission philosophy. AODV as one of the most discussed reactive routing protocols establishes only single routing path after handshaking process. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of limited multipath routing by utilizing beacon packets to collect routing information of neighbor nodes in two-hops distance. We present a two-hops neighbor-aware reactive routing protocol against AODV to increase the packet delivery ratio up to 10% and reduce the normalized routing load from 1.5 to 3 times in MANET environment.
